From: The risk of type 2 oral polio vaccine use in post-cessation outbreak response

Quantity varied

Values

Final base reproductive rate of reverted VDPV2 (R 0f)

{1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0}

Initial reproductive rate of OPV2 as fraction of final R 0 (g)

{0.25, 0.5}

Exponential timescale of R 0 reversion (λ)

{60 days, 150 days}

No. of inactivated polio vaccine doses given to children born after OPV2 cessation (N IPV)

{0, 1}

Distance dependence of migration rates (c)

{–1, –2} (1/d, 1/d 2)

Population intestinal immunity in cohort of children born before OPV2 cessation

Induced by three OPV campaigns at 80% coverage and 50% take (moderate immunity) or three OPV campaigns at 100% coverage and 100% take (high immunity)
